- Baratza launched a new coffee grinder, the Encore ESP Pro
- Its stepless mechanism can adjust burrs in 2.2 micron increments
- It also features ion-generating technology to prevent static electricity buildup during grinding.
Baratza, which specializes in high-end coffee grinders, has just launched a new stepless model that makes it easier to precisely select the type of brew you choose, whether espresso, Aeropress or pour-over. The Baratza Encore ESP Pro has the same Baratza M2 steel cutters as the company’s previous models, but with a new stepless mechanism that allows for vertical cutter movement of 2.2 microns per degree of adjustment rotation.
Finding the right grind size for your coffee (composition) is the trickiest part of making a good brew. A small, gradual change can make the difference between a perfectly round espresso and one that’s slightly bitter or sour.
The ideal grind size for a particular grain and brew type also does not remain consistent; the age of your beans and even the ambient temperature can affect the extraction rate, so being able to make small adjustments is a big advantage.

The Encore ESP Pro should also make grinds cleaner with ion generation technology that helps prevent static electricity, which is created by friction during grinding and can cause coffee to stick to the grinder. Less static means less mess and less waste.
LED downlights help you see exactly what you’re doing (and watch the coffee fall cleanly into your filter), and you can choose to grind all the beans in the hopper or just a single dose.
If the name Baratza sounds familiar to you but you can’t place it, you may already be using some of its hardware. The company was acquired by Breville in 2020, and you’ll find its burrs in several of Breville’s best coffee makers, including the top-rated Breville Barista Touch Impress.
